Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity (Official Video)

[@sumisuuuu]

A lot of people think that the way they did this video is by moving the walls, but actually Jay Kay is floating and sliding across the floor and using his powers as a sorcerer to move the furniture. Pretty cool when you learn how it’s really done

The song is about gene editing. The line “synthesize another strain” really caught me off guard the first time I heard it because of how relevant virus gene editing is right now.

[@ege8240]

lyrics are like a caveman trying to describe fire. being scared of gene editting is trying to stop human progression

[@KINDaf]

@@ege8240 You say that like gene editing is safe and 100% effecting and MORAL! It absolutely is not ANY of those thingst! I am autistic. I don't want to be gene edited out of existence! I have friend who have downs syndrome. The world wiuld be less colorful if we did not exist! This is what Jamiroquai is warning us about! A cookie cutter exitistance where everything's the same with no diversity or different experiences of life! That is not the human experience and technology like gene 'therapy' is harmful in an age when we still think we can 'fix' being gay!

I just learned how the effect of the sliding floor was done. Learning that it's actually the walls that are moving makes this video that much more impressive to me. His body language especially sells the illusion, making it even better. This video is fantastically done!

[@ЯрославЯщенко-щ1э]

Do you have some backstage video link? Because firstly i thought that it just full edit. Later i start thinking that it seems like floor is really moving (i noticed that walls have gaps in bottom) and his balancing movement tells me that it is real movement. But i can`t understand how they move each chair separately, i assume some spikes in floor that fixate individual chair. But moving walls seems possible way, and i noticed that some hooks can be in walls (there holes in tiles), but it seems more difficult and in some moments he moves similar to when floor start moving and he just try to stand still. For me it just more plausible that it is floor that moving, and chair fixed by spike-hook in the walls

[@forceawakens4449]

​@@ЯрославЯщенко-щ1эthe wall itself is the thing moving, its all in the magic of editing and great choreography, between cuts they bolt and unbolt different pieces of furniture to let them move with the wall or stay put, giving them the illusion of movement

you say that like he's some all seeing prophet

[@aydenlokey3641]

For anyone wondering how this all actually worked: The original plan was to have the floor move, but the producer had the math done, cost of the floor movement system was around 288,000 dollars. So! they came up with the idea that ended up being used to save cost: The whole room is actually on wheels as the crew behind the video push it around to give the illusion of a moving floor. The furniture also is bolted to the wall until it is time for it to move away from the wall, in which case a crew member quickly unbolts it. Since the camera is attached to a wall you can see small shakes whenever the room starts moving. Bugs and bird were added in post, as well as stage direction marks being edited out. Song was also post editing, he doesn't start speaking until around the 4th word in the song. One final thing: The illusion of the room moving is given away if you have a sharp enough eye to notice during the narrow hallway part, as the others leave the set the walls begin to shake a little. Really interesting how they managed to do all this!

Goat, i figured most of it out but I really thoight the floor was mooving, thats really cool. Means he had to do really precise choreography to move along with the room and not just reflexively like on a treadmill.
